“Kassi was great with our doggies! She was a godsend on short notice and took care of 4 dogs for us during a family emergency. Super sweet and our dogs loved her! Thanks Kassi. Hope to be able to use you again!”
“Charity did a wonderful job with our two cats and our corgi!! She stayed at our home, walked our dog, and care for them so lovingly. We have a 17 year old cat who is blind and requires daily medication and she did a great job caring for him, giving him his meds, and making him feel safe while we were out of town. I would 100% hire Charity again!”
“Rachel was very nice to take my booking at the last minute. She did a great job watching Claire and responding to me. My dog is not the easiest to look after. She let me know when my dog got temporarily sick from breaking into her treat bag. She cleaned up everything before I got home.”
About: Hi! I’m Allison, a graduate student and a huge animal lover. I have two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets when you can’t be there. Having two dogs has given me plenty of experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and all of the little things that come with keeping dogs happy and comfortable. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m always happy to follow whatever instructions help your pet feel most comfortable. As a grad student, Rover is a great way for me to spend some of my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog needs a walk, a quick check-in, some playtime, or just someone to hang out with them while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I’m currently a graduate student, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have flexibility outside of class and school commitments. I love spending my free time with animals, especially since I have two dogs of my own! I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s care. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any other preferences your pet may have. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away!
About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs my whole life. From playing to taking care of them, I deeply enjoy being surrounded by dogs. They truly love like no other I am a local middle school teacher, so my schedule before and after school are very flexible! I am available before 7:30am, or after 4pm on weekdays. Weekends vary. I’d love to get to know the family and home in which I would be sitting to ensure I know the dos and don'ts the pet already has. I treat all pets as if they were my own.
“Dominique (Domi as she likes to be addressed) did a fantastic job. We asked her to stay all night and day from Friday night until Sunday mid-day. We have 2 little dogs and one had an injured leg that required special attention. Domi took pics of our little ones and sent them to us and kept us informed of how thy were doing. The house was just how we left it. We will absolutely have Domi come back and stay again.”
“We are so grateful for Linda! She took care of our two pups while we were out of town on vacation and it was such a blessing! She communicated well, sent pictures, took the dogs for walk and let our minds be at ease while we were away. We have no doubt we will book Linda again!”
“Linda took great care of our two dogs! She always responded quickly to my messages and sent several pictures over the weekend while we were away. We knew our dogs were happy and comfortable.”
About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life. I’m lucky to live near several parks—including a dog park—so pups will get plenty of opportunities for exercise and fresh air. My schedule also allows me to stop by during lunch breaks, which helps keep pets on their normal routine. Walking is also one of my favorite pastimes so your pet can expect lots of those :) I currently have a couple of cats of my own who are comfortable around other animals for overnight stays. I know how much I miss my kitties when I’m out, so you can expect pictures and updates throughout the days. I aim to provide dependable, attentive care just like I’d hope for my own. Am no stranger to medical needs as well and am comfortable providing medicines as needed Weekends I am completely available to stop by in your home or I offer overnight stays at my home. I have a roommate whose schedule is available during the day so overnight stays can be offered during the week as well. I work a typical 9-5 throughout the week but am available before, during lunch or afterwards in the evenings during the week for stop ins depending on location I have a large backyard and localized access to multiple dog parks and trails. I own two kitties myself that are comfortable around both dogs and cats.
About: I take care of my own two kitties and love to give them all the love and care they need to be happy and healthy. For multiple years I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for friends and family for a day or a week at a time. Further, I enjoy walking dogs for fellow residents in my apartments! I’m currently going in to my senior year of high school. I will be at classes until 1:30 from Monday - Friday. I am available evenings and weekends. If your pet needs morning check-ins, I will stop in before my school day. At this time, I will not be boarding pets in my own home. My own cats are easily stressed out, so I want to give them their own home to keep to themselves.
“Jessica was a God send. She recently house sat for us while on vacation. She made sure my babies got all the love and spoiling they are used too while also easing my mind. This allowed me to enjoy our vacation without worrying if they were ok. The communication was great and she sent a ton of photos, which I loved! She also left the house spotless. Jessica exceeded my expectations and we will definitely use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Briggs
Thank you, James, so much. Emma and Fitzgerald were well taken care of. He gave our geriatric dog their meds, took them on walks and even dealt with their weim nuances. James followed all our requests and dealt with our neighborhood construction wonderfully. We will definitely be using him in the future.
Tracy did a great job looking after our farm while we were away as per usual. She looks after the dogs especially well as they can sometimes be a somewhat boisterous group but she takes it all in her stride and gives the pets the best care possible and we highly recommend her.
BETTI WAS A WONDERFUL DOG SITTER FOR MY 3 DOGS AND ALSO MY HOME. SHE WATERED PLANTS AND WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO FEED 2 PICKY EATERS - ONE OF WHOM HAS TO BE HAND FED. THEY ALSO GOT THEIR WALKS, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL TO THEM. I KNOW THE DOGS LIKED HER BECAUSE WHEN SHE RETURNED TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS THEY WERE OVERJOYED TO SEE HER. I WOULD USE BETTI AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT.

The average cost of House Sitting in Briggs is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Briggs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Briggs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Briggs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
